#1 Related storie at WorldNet Daily:Jerome Corsi, a specialist on the Vietnam era, told WND the new discoveries are the "most remarkable documents I've seen in the entire history of the antiwar movement." "We're not going to say he's an agent for Vietnamese communists, but it's the next thing to it," he said. "Whether he was consciously carrying out their direction or naively doing what they wanted, it amounted to the same thing -- he advanced their cause." Corsi, co-author of the Swift Boat Vets and POWs for Truth best-seller "Unfit for Command," and Scott Swett, who maintains the group's website, have posted a summary of the discovery on the website of Wintersoldier.com. Corsi says the documents show how the North Vietnamese, the Viet Cong, the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, the Communist Party of the USA and Kerry's VVAW worked closely together to achieve the Vietnamese communists' primary objective -- the defeat of the U.S. in Vietnam.
"I think what we've discovered is a smoking gun," Corsi said. "We knew when we wrote 'Unfit for Command' that Kerry had met with Madame Binh and then promoted her peace plan. "This document enables us to connect the dots," he emphasized. "We now have evidence Madame Binh was directing the antiwar movement ... and the person who implemented her strategy was John Kerry."

Looks like someone saved the best for last. Of course the MSM doesn't have time to spread this story, I think we should help.

#2 Additional, Larry Kudlow at NRO picks up the meme: Just Like You Hunted the Viet Cong?
In the final days of the 2004 presidential campaign, John Kerry is desperately attempting to make the case that he, not George W. Bush, can better defend America in the global war against radical Islam and its terrorist tactics. One of Kerryâs most extraordinary attacks came over the weekend in Colorado, where he told a Pueblo audience, âWith the same energy . . . I put into going after the Viet Cong and trying to win for our country, I pledge to you I will hunt down and capture or kill the terrorists before they harm us.â Huh? The Viet Cong? This is a dangerous rewrite of history.
American Enterprise Institute scholar Joshua Muravchik writes in the Weekly Standard that Kerry met with the two communist delegations to the Paris peace talks on at least two separate occasions, in 1970 and 1971. One delegation was from North Vietnam and the other was the Viet Congâs provisional revolutionary government. According to Muravchik, Kerry endorsed the Viet Congâs âpeace plan,â which was to set a date for American force withdrawal in order to have U.S. POWâs returned. When back in the states, Kerry cited Viet Cong foreign minister Madame Binh for this extortionate swap.
